Sinopse
The Gate of Heavenly Peace is a feature-length documentary about the 1989 protest movement, reflecting the drama, tension, humor, absurdity, heroism, and many tragedies of the six weeks from April to June in 1989. The film reveals how the hard-liners within the government marginalized moderates among the protesters (including students, workers and intellectuals), while the actions of radical protesters undermined moderates in the government. Moderate voices were gradually cowed and then silenced by extremism and emotionalism on both sides.

Xu Xin’s film “Dao Lu” (China 2012) offers an exclusive “in camera” encounter with Zheng Yan, an 83 year-old veteran of the Chinese Red Army, who calmly relates how he has navigated his country’s turbulent history over three-quarters of a century.Born to a wealthy family in a foreign concession, Yan joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1941 because he sincerely believed in the socialist project, and in its immediate capacity to free China from the Japanese yoke and eradicate deep-rooted corruption.
A small group of filmmakers, led by the Bartolomé brothers, took to the streets at the beginning of the Transition to gather the opinions of politicians and citizens about the country that was about to be formed. Today, this documentary work is a true milestone that defines the history of cinema in Spain, since all its testimonies allow us to understand the plurality of a young society that meditated on how to think about its past and build its future.
The second part of the documentary "Después de...", "Atado y bien atado" presents the sensitivity that existed in different areas of Spanish society in its young democracy concerning its future, where the fear of a sector was underlying ultra-conservative before the construction of a different country and that already announced the attempted coup d'état of February 1981. Without a doubt, this work —which could not be released until 1983— places Cecilia Bartolomé and her brother as precursors of the social documentary that will have an enormous development and that today continues to be crucial in Spanish film production.
